available in the main battery is dropping to a
low level:

Energy consumption / generation indicator
Energy consumption
On switching on the ignition, your vehicle
neither consumes nor generates energy in its
electric traction system: the needle is in the
"neutral" position (provided that the heating and
air conditioning are off).
"Eco" zone
A system that informs the driver of the level of energy consumption or generation of the main battery.
"Neutral" position"Charge" zone
The needle moves to the right in proportion to
the energy consumption by the vehicle.
The needle is in this zone when the vehicle is
used so as to moderate electric consumption
and optimise its range.The needle moves to the left in proportion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during periods of deceleration and braking.
In cold weather, the capacity for
regeneration via braking is reduced.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to permit
starting.
This electronic immobiliser locks the control
system a few moments after the ignition is
switched off and prevents starting by anyone
who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction and if your vehicle
does not start, contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Remote control problem
In the event of a remote control malfunction,
you can neither unlock nor lock your vehicle.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
I
f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in
the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few
moments by opening the windows.
P

lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compartment.
F

C
ondensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
F

T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

F
avour the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause
misting of the windscreen and the side windows.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating or
air conditioning as soon as they are no
longer needed.
During normal charging of the
vehicle, the ventilation, heating and
air
conditioning can be activated from
the ACC position of the switch.
During fast charging of the vehicle, the
ventilation, heating and air conditioning
cannot be activated.

If there is no action on the remote
control within 30 seconds, it will switch
off automatically.If the start of charging is programmed
without programming the duration of
charging, the battery will be charged
fully.The duration of charging can be
programmed between 0.5 and
19.5
hours. However, you can also
select the duration "-h": in this case,
charging will stop when the battery
is fully charged. This duration is the
default value.
